X240 DO NOT HAVE Internal Battery, keypad backlit. 3 Cell External Battery only last for 2 hours!

Why does Lenovo dont tell about this missing features??
I bought the unit a day before I left the country, and then to my surprise it does not have the internal battery that Lenovo is boasting about. Fn+Spacebar doesnt work in lighting up the keypad and the 3-cell external batter is no way near to 4 hrs!
**bleep** hell Lenovo?
Another thing, is it possible to turn on the light (near the webcam) to light up the keyboard at all?

Hi,
1. Information about battery capacity for laptops with fixed configuration (i.e.not CTO) is provided in PSREF (for not all countries), on Lenovo support site in laptop model short description. It looks like the strings below:
6c Li-Ion
3c front battery and 3c rear battery
3c front battery and 6c rear battery
The 1st string is for 6 cell rear (external) battery.
If laptop is CTO the battery information is available in the purchase order or in the parts data base.
2. Keyboard backlight capability is optional feature. This information could be found in PSREF, in support site parts data base by laptop serial number.
3. ThinkLight feature is absent in Haswell based Lenovo Thinkpads.

IPhone 5 battery only lasts for 3 hours of usage

My iPhone 5 64GB is not working as well as I think it should be. After about 3 hours of usage (according to usage statistics in settings), which is just Facebook and web browsing, and 9 total hours of standby, the battery dies. This is mainly over 4G with medium brightness. Background App Refresh is off, most location services are off, Push emails are off, reduce motion is on. I have tried everything I have found online to try and fix this, but nothing has worked. On top of that, my iPhone was just replaced at an Apple Store, so I'm not really sure what it could be.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello pierre0,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have just received this iPhone as a replacement from an Apple Store, it should still be within its 90 day warranty. Please take the device back to the store and inform them of the issue.
A replacement part or Apple Product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Apple, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you.

Year-old nano's battery only lasts about 9 hours--normal?

The one-year warranty on my nano expires in about two weeks. The battery only lasts about 9 hours when playing AACs purchased from the iTunes Music Store continuously, with the EQ and backlight turned off.
Not too shabby, but also nowhere near the 14 hours it got when it was new.
My question for those of you who have had warranty repairs for battery problems--would Apple consider 9 hours of battery life "defective" and worthy of a warranty repair or replacement?
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Actually Apple says up to 14 hours. You're doing ok with this because you're getting about 65% or more battery life from the max of 14 hours.
Just to be clear, you can only buy the AppleCare plan during the first 12 months warranty period, so if your iPod is nearing a year old, better be quick.
Btw, have you seen these?

Ipod touch 4g battery only lasts 1-2 hour

My ipod touch battery only lasts 1-2 hours, and even when the brightness is at the lowest, +/- 2 hours. This page says the battery life is 7 hours when listening to music and 4 hours when watching videos. Is this my fault or is my battery not doing good? I'm not listening to music or playing videos, i'm just browsing on the web, browsing in the app store and playing games (sound turned off). What can i do about this? Should I contact Apple? Thanks, nelson2tm.

Battery only lasts for about 7 hours after Update to IOS 4.2.1

Hello folks,
after I have updated my Iphone 3G to the newest firmware (4.2.1) may battery only lasts for about 7hrs in standby-mode (no tethering, umts, wifi, whatsoever), while it has been much much better before.
Does anyone of you have the problem or a solution for it?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm happy to tell you that the problem, at least for myself, is gone. I checked around on the forum and apparently it could be so that something went wrong when updating to 4.2.1 so restoring the phone from itunes could be the fix. I did so and the problems seams to be solved.

My iPod Battery only last about an hour when watching videos. Why??

Whenever I watch a video on my iPod which I got about a week ago the battery dies very quickly.An example is I have Lost on it and I only can watch an episode and a half before my iPod dies.
30gb Windows XP Pro

Thats perfectly normal. The 14 hour battery life is for playing music and even with playing music u only get about 10 hours if ur lucky.
i usually watch an hour and a half movie and the battery will be at the red bar. but once its at the red bar it still lasts a while. dont worry its all normal.
the reason it drains so much battery is because the backlight uses alot of power wen ur playing a movie.

New MacBook Pro Battery Only last 2:30 hours...

Hello,
I bought my new macbook pro in november and the battery was fine. It lasted 5 hours. But now, when I fully charge it, it only says that my battery will last 2:30...
I happened all of a sudden. What can I do? I tried to re-calibrate it by fully uncharge it and then fully charge it...
Any tips?
Thank you!
John

Did you follow the steps in this linked kbase article, including the 2 hour wait on AC power and the 5 hour wait after forced sleep?
It would help if you post your Battery Information from System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Power) - the relevant lines are Full Charge Capacity, Cycle Count, and Condition.
Finally, check for 'runaway' processes using a lot of CPU power - in Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor > CPU tab, click the popup to Show: Active Processes then click the CPU column header to sort by usage. Is there anything using a lot of power?

Battery only lasts 5.5 hours - possible they sent wrong battery?

So I love my laptop, it is great, but I feel the battery is a lot less than advertised. I used it today to see how long it lasts on battery and it was about 5.5 hours instead of the 15 hours advertised.
I have the T430 with discrete graphics, but I think it stays inactive unless I do something intensive. I was basically just browsing the internet, chatting, tweeting. I did have like 15-20 tabs open though.
If it matters, I upgraded to 256 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM and moved 7200 RPM HDD to UltraBay.
Is it possible i was sent the 6-cell battery instead of 9-cell? How do I check?
Solved!

Hi sens_adnan,
If you remove ther battery, on the left hand side is the lenovo logo.
Underneath is the part # for your battery.
If the part # is: 45N1007, then your battery is the 6-cell

Year Old MBP - Battery only Good for Two Hours

When I fully charge the battery over night and switch the battery indicator to time the most I get is two hours. Percentage view quickly shows from 100% for a few mins to 75% a few mins later and the most I can get out of it is roughly two hours. Based on these readings do you think the battery is defective?

Well, your battery's original capacity was about 4600mAh, and it still has 96% of that: very good for a year old. So it's there, but something is consuming it. Open Activity Monitor and use it to determine what's using the most CPU cycles. If you're using your machine in a brightly lit setting, make sure your display and keyboard brightness aren't being cranked up automatically: the display in particular is a huge energy consumer. If the Web sites you frequent are video sites like YouTube and Hulu that use a lot of Flash, that will eat up your battery very quickly.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.
